Air Canada Aeroplan is offering discounted Aeroplan award tickets for travel between Canada and Australia. The discount provides up to a 10% reduction in the number of Aeroplan points required for economy, premium economy and business class awards.
The offer is in place for new bookings made by June 8 for travel completed by December 15, 2023.
When you search online for award flights there is no indication of the discount is being applied so we must simply assume it is. I did a super quick search on one date in June for Vancouver to Sydney:
The results on June 20 has Business Class heading at 83,500 which falls below the 85,000 minimum points amount set out by Air Canada for at least 80% of award pricing. Premium Economy, well that’s another story and Economy falls into the 50,000 to 90,000 point range set by Air Canada. And this was only one date I could really see. I checked some other random dates and business class was pricing in the 200,000 to 300,000+ range so even with a 10% discount the amount of points required are high.
I did some random checks for return flights in June, July and October with only one date coming in at 83,800 points via SFO on United. Air Canada’s direct flights were once again in the 200,000 to 300,000+ points range on the five dates I checked.
Wrapping it up
Air Canada Aeroplan has put award flights to Australia from Canada on sale offering up to a 10% discount. The tough part with this sale is availability. I only searched a small number of dates and most of the points pricing was really high even if these did include the up to 10% off. Perhaps you’ll have better luck finding some awards with more reasonable pricing! Let us know in the comments below if you do! (Make sure you book it first as you don’t want to lose it to someone else! 😉 )
